Canada: Canada Consults on Proposed Maximum Residue Limits for Lambda-cyhalothrin

On February 4, 2025, Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) opened a consultation on proposed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for lambda-cyhalothrin. This follows a proposed revision of PMRA’s 2021 final decision for lambda-cyhalothrin which canceled livestock feed uses. PMRA has now re-instated some feed uses, and subsequently is proposing to establish MRLs for certain livestock commodities as well as revoke the MRLs for apples and peaches. For apples and peaches, PMRA is proposing new MRLs at 0.01 ppm as compared to 0.3 ppm and 0.5 ppm for apples and peaches, respectively. The 75-day consultation will close April 19, 2025.
